SHOE.

Application filed August 18, 1924.

The invention relates to apparel shoes.

An object of the invention is to provide a shoe into which the entry ofmoisture or sand or other material from without the shoe is prevented. D

Another object of the invention is to provide means for preventing theentry of moisture into the shoe through the welt .seam or other seamsdisposed adjacent the lower portion of the shoe.

The invention possesses other advantageous features, some of which withthe foregoing, will be set forth at length 1n the following description,where I shall `outline in full that form of my invention which I haveselected for illustration in the draw ings accompanying and formingpartof the present specification. In sai-d drawings I have shown oneform of shoe embodying my invention, but it is to be understood that Ido not limit myself to such form, since the invention, as set forth inthe claims, may be embodied in a plurality of forms.

In accordance with my invention, I prevent the entry of moisture or sandinto the shoe fromwithout by forming a watertight lining within theshoe, such lining completely covering the insole and the vamp lof theshoe so that moisture cannot enter the shoe below the line of vamping.

The invention is disclosed in the accompanying drawings in which:

Figure l is a plan of one form of blank which is lasted into shape toform the inner lining of the shoe.

Figure 2 is a phantom perspective view of one type of shoe showing theinner lining of my invention arranged therein.

Figure 3 is a vertical cross section through the toe of a shoe providedwith the inner lining of my invention.

In accordance with my invention, I arrange within the shoe, asubstantially watertight inner lining which completely covers the insoleof the shoe and which extends upward within the shoe to any desirableheight, preferably to at least as high as the line of vamping. rIhislining produces a substantially watertight supplementary shoe within theshoe and since the stitching of the Serial No. 732,638.

shoe does not penetrate the inner lining, the lining is substantiallywatertight. The shape of the blank 2 from which the inner lining isformed, depends largely upon the style or character of the shoe and alsodepends upon the height to which it is desired to carry the inner liningwithin the shoe. The blank 2 shown in the drawing is formed to extendupward in the shoe to the vamping. The vamping is the line of stitching8 by which the vamp 4 is secured to the quarter 5. The blank 2 is cutfrom a substantially watertight material such as soft, pliable leather,and is lasted on a suitable last, conforming to the size and style ofthe shoe to be mad-e. rfhe outer edges 6 of the blank are broughttogether on the under side of the last and are secured together by aline of stitching 7. The seam thus formed is coated with a waterproofcement or other suitable waterproof material to prevent the entry ofmoisture through the seam. The insole 8 is then adhesively attached tothe underside of the lining and the shoe is then lasted and completed inthe usual manner.

The inner lining 9 formed from the blank 2 completely covers the insoles8 and completely covers the inner surface of the toe 12 of the shoe andextends backward along the sides or vamp or quarters of the shoe,forming a watertight lining which completely surrounds the lower part ofthe foot when the foot is inserted in the shoe, This watertight liningmay extend upward and constitute a lining for the quarters 5 or it mayterminate at the vamping. The waterproof lining is thus interposedbetween the welt seams and other seams disposed adjacent the lowerportion of the shoe, so that moisture or sand or other material isprevented from entering the inside of the slice and contacting with thefoot, thereby providing a substantially watertight shoe into which theentry of water from without below the vamping is minimized.

I claim:

1. A shoe provided with the usual sole, insole and vamp, a on-e piecelining completely covering the inner surfaces of said insole and vampand extending the entire length of Hfs I itil) the shoe, a. single seamin said lining overlength of tlie shoe7 a ,single Waterproof seein lyingsaid insole, said lining being adliein said lining overlying saidinsole, said sively secured to said insole. lining being adliesivelysecured to said in- 10 2. A shoe provided With the usual sole, Sole. linsole and vamp, :i one piece lining eoin- In testimony whereof, I havehereunto set pletely covering tli'e inner surfaces of said my hand.insole and vamp and extending the entire JOHN J.
